ClearID

Genetic testing is helping to guide cancer treatment. Numerous studies have shown that patients whose tumors were genotyped have experienced better overall survival odds than those who were not. Choosing the right therapy can significantly raise response rates in patients and may improve overall survival.

In the past, doctors had few tools available for predicting which drugs would work for which patients. Instead, they had to start by using treatments that are accepted as working for most patients, and then move to more specialized treatments only if the patient failed to respond to the first line therapy. While there are no guarantees that a course of therapy will be effective, very good results have been achieved with targeted therapy, such as with Trastuzumab (Herceptin) for breast cancer.

ClearID™ is a genomic blood test that offers a testing solution where traditional tissue biopsies may fall short. The ClearID™ test detects tumor cells recovered from a standard blood draw. By identifying the specific genomic mutations driving the disease, ClearID™ can unlock relevant treatment options and may aid physicians in risk assessment, treatment stratification, evaluation of drug resistance, and selection of monitoring frequency for their patients.

ClearID™ can be used to complement traditional tissue biopsy analysis or as a standalone tests to find therapies for patients in each tissue biopsy is deemed difficult or too risky to harvest.
